# [[Negri]] = Laquadyo, [[Tetracot]] = Saquadyo, [[Vulture]] = Sasa-quadyo, [[Diminished]] = Quadgu.

Multipliers like bi-, tri-, etc. can be combined: 6-fold = tribi-, 8-fold = quadbi-, 9-fold = tritri-, 10-fold = quinbi-, 12-fold = quadtri-, 14-fold = sepbi-, 15-fold = quintri-, 16-fold = quadquad-, etc. Higher primes use their color word, but with the suffix '''-e''' ("eh") for exponent:

* 11-fold = '''le-''' (as in "legitimate"), 13-fold = '''the-''' (as in "thesaurus"). 17 = '''se-''', 19 = '''ne-''', 23 = '''~~twenty-the~~-''', 29 = '''~~twenty-ne~~-''', etc.

* 11-fold = '''le-''' (as in "legitimate"), 13-fold = '''the-''' (as in "thesaurus"). 17 = '''se-''', 19 = '''ne-''', 23 = '''twethe-''', 29 = '''twene-''', etc.

Note that sep- means 7-fold, while se- means 17-fold. Multipliers affect all subsequent syllables until the '''-a-''' delimiter occurs: Trizogu = z3g3 and Trizo-agu = z3g. The "a" in la- and sa- acts as a delimiter: Trilayo = L3y, not L3y3, which would be Trila-triyo.

Line 23:

Hyphens are used to make the name easier to parse. There are strict rules for hyphenation, to ensure uniformity.

* Put a hyphen before every -a- delimiter

* Put a hyphen before and after every "twenty", "thirty", "forty", etc.

* Put a hyphen after the magnitude (after the final la- or sa-)

* Put a hyphen after coco-, trico-, etc.

The hyphen after the magnitude is omitted if it would create a subunit of 1 syllable. Thus Layo, Lalagu and Sagugu are all unhyphenated. Likewise, there is no hyphen after co-~~. However, the 2nd rule always holds, e.g. 736/729 is Sa-twenty-tho~~.

The hyphen after the magnitude is omitted if it would create a subunit of 1 syllable. Thus Layo, Lalagu and Sagugu are all unhyphenated. Likewise, there is no hyphen after co-.

Sometimes the smallest ratio in a segment is some other comma raised to some power. For example, the smallest ratio in the central segment of the zozogugu row is 441/400. But since this is (21/20)2, tempering it out would simply result in the Zogu temperament. Thus there is no Bizogu temperament, although there is a Bizogubi one.
